Quick update: H2VX.com is up, serving vCards and iCalendars, and also has new browser buttons (AKA favelets/bookmarklets) that submit the current page to it to be converted.
Details: Re: 1. TR Ops contacted. I still have no update from Technorati. Now that H2VX has an updated UI and converter, I'm going to ask the folks at Technorati to simply redirect technorati.com/contacts and /events to h2vx.com/vcf and /ics respectively as I'm sure that a simple redirect directive is more likely to survive any future site changes. I'm certainly open to alternative suggestions. > 2. H2VX.

I've setup a separate Twitter for H2VX status updates for those you using H2VX.com links on your sites for conversions. http://twitter.com/h2vx Please add any feedback or issues to: http://microformats.org/wiki/h2vx I'm considering H2VX.com feature complete at this point and will make only minor incremental changes/fixes as reported. If folks write new XSLTs to handles more conversions, we can certainly take a look at setting them up (e.g. an hNews or hAtom + value-class-pattern to Atom or RSS converter). Re: 3. X2V setup docs. I've taken copious notes on what was needed to setup X2V, as well as written a bunch of new PHP and javascript to do so with an improved UI. As time permits I'll add these to: http://microformats.org/wiki/x2v#install However for now, I'm going to return to closing resolved hCard and hCalendar issues and writing up the hCard and hCalendar 1.0.1 updates - which are already a month later than I wanted them to be. If anyone urgently needs/wants to setup another X2V instance, let me know, and perhaps we can work through the details on IRC (http://microformats.org/wiki/irc).
